St. Paul: 3 businesses settle Central Corridor damage claims

The owners of three University Avenue stores that suffered damages during construction of the Central Corridor light-rail line have settled with general contractor Walsh Construction for undisclosed sums.

Travis Adams, an attorney who was working with the three plaintiffs, said they settled the cases Friday in a conference room in Ramsey County District Court. He said the settlements were private and he could not disclose the terms.

Each store owner had filed conciliation claims for $10,000, the maximum allowed in small-claims court. The cases had been scheduled to be heard Friday.

The stores were Marty's Second Hand, Shear Pleasure hair salon and Safety Care Inc., a home care firm that shares a wall with Marty's.
